Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

In the main hall.

Li Chengqian turned to Du He and said, "Du He, what do you think of Jun Mai, Huai Dao, and Ren Gui? What should we do next?"

Du He was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Jun Mai and Huai Dao will go to Jiangzhou to train new soldiers in three days according to the original plan."

"During the time when Junmai goes to Jiangzhou for military training, Xue Rengui will temporarily protect your safety."

After a pause, Du He suggested to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, why not let Rengui and Huaidao serve as Junmai's deputies and let them each lead 2000 new soldiers."

Hearing Du He's words, Xue Rengui and Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up.

Being the deputy of Xi Junmai, the General of the Central Army, isn't that the same as being a General of the Central Army?

The Left and Right Lang Jiang were the deputies of the Zhonglang Jiang, a total of two people, who assisted the Zhonglang Jiang in commanding the troops.

"No problem." Li Chengqian nodded in response, and then asked with some doubt: "If Xue Rengui stays in Chang'an, how will he train his new troops?"

Xue Rengui is a super-powerful general. Not only is he qualified to be a deputy, he is also more than qualified to be a marching commander.

Qin Huaidao himself is a duke. He has been learning military tactics from a group of generals since he was young. He also has good fighting ability, so he has no problem being a deputy.

Du He had already thought it through in his mind, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, protecting your safety is the top priority. This time, Jun Mai will take most of the East Palace Qianniu Guards away. Without the protection of experts, the protection force around you will be weak."

"When Junmai has a training ground for new soldiers, return to Chang'an to take over Rengui's protection. Then Rengui can go there to train his 2000 troops."

The guards led by Donggong Qianniu and the guards sent by Cui Shenji and others are the grassroots backbone of this team of new recruits.

The higher the level of tacit understanding between these backbone members and Commander Xi Junmai, the better they can cooperate with the new recruits under their command.

Moreover, Crown Prince Li Chengqian has always been the core target of various forces.

Whether it was the princes of the current dynasty who had ulterior motives, or the remnants of the previous dynasty and Li Jiancheng, there were many people who wanted to assassinate Li Chengqian.

Therefore, the power of protection cannot be lacking.

There was another important reason. Du He wanted Xue Rengui to worship Li Jing, the military god, as his teacher and learn the art of war from him.

Xue Rengui was a brave and invincible general, but his military strategy and ability to command troops did not match his super strong combat power.

The defeat in the Battle of Dayuechuan was an indelible stain on the life of Xue Rengui, a shining general.

Li Chengqian nodded solemnly and said loudly, "Okay, it's settled then. Rengui and Huaidao will serve as deputy generals."

"Junmai and Huaidao will leave in three days to go to the new recruit camp in Jiangzhou for training. Rengui will stay behind to protect me."

"Follow the order."

Xi Junmai, Qin Huaidao and Xue Rengui stood up together and clasped their fists in response.

After arrangement.

Li Chengqian stood up and said, "Du He, you chat with them. I will go to my father and ask for an official position for Rengui. I will also take back the armor and weapons."

Seeing the prince's courtesy, Xue Rengui's eyes turned red.

A scholar will die for his confidant!

When Xue Rengui saw that the prince was limping, he quickly retracted his gaze and touched his wife who had been staring at the prince's lame foot.

Liu understood what her husband meant and quickly turned her head.

Both the couple showed expressions of regret on their faces.

Such a wise prince has a problem with his legs and feet. God is really blind.

Du He took in the couple's expressions and said nothing. Instead, he took the initiative to bring up the topic and chat with them.

Half an hour later.

Li Chengqian walked back with a smile on his face.

Behind him, one of his personal guards was holding a brand new set of Ming Guang armor, and another one was carrying a Fang Tian Hua Ji.

After Li Chengqian sat cross-legged, he smiled and said, "Xue Rengui, my father has agreed to my request and promoted you to the position of Qianniu Beishen of the Eastern Palace, a sixth-rank official."

Reach the sky in one step.

Xue Rengui knelt down excitedly and saluted: "Thank you for your highness the crown prince's appreciation. I am willing to serve you like a dog and a horse!"

His wife, Liu, was so excited that she wanted to burst into tears.

May our ancestors bless you and let you meet two great benefactors!

Du He nodded. Li Chengqian's kindness had completely brought the great general Xue Rengui under his command.

Among the current military generals in the Eastern Palace, except for Su Dingfang who is in his early forties, the rest are under thirty years old.

Li Chengqian said in a gentle voice: "As long as you are loyal to me, I will never treat you unfairly."

After saying that, he turned to Xi Junmai and Qin Huaidao and said, "The same goes for you two."

"I am willing to swear allegiance to the prince until death!"

The three of them bowed to Li Chengqian.

"Please stand up quickly. With the loyalty of the three of you, I am more confident in conquering Goguryeo this time."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The three of them stood up excitedly.

You can win people's hearts by giving them some encouragement, promises and some benefits.

These small favors and favors are insignificant to Du He, but they are great favors to the three of them.

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Xue Rengui: "Put on the armor and see if it fits you, and see if the weapon is handy."

"This Fang Tian Hua Ji is the heaviest and best-made weapon I have found in the warehouse. According to the person in charge of the warehouse, this Hua Ji was made by a famous artist."

Xue Rengui took off his old armor in public and placed it gently on the table.

I have developed feelings for the armor passed down from my ancestors after wearing it for so many years. Even if I have a new armor now, I should not throw it away casually.

After Xue Rengui put on the new silver-white armor, he took over the new Fang Tian Hua Ji from another personal soldier, and he became even more heroic and extraordinary.

"Damn, he's so handsome!"

This time it was Xi Junmai's turn to be jealous.

Even Qin Huaidao's eyes widened.

Du He walked around Xue Rengui twice and couldn't help but praise him.

"What a brave general!"

"This set of armor seems to be tailor-made for Rengui."

Xue Rengui's appearance has a greater visual impact than in film and television dramas.

It completely matches Du He's imagination of a military general.

Xue Rengui stretched his body, weighed the Fang Tian Hua Ji a few times, and felt that it was very handy.

He said excitedly: "Your Highness, this armor fits me perfectly and the weapon is also handy. Thank you, Your Highness!"

The armor and weapons forged by this great craftsman are countless times better than the tattered armor and Fang Tian Huaji passed down from his ancestors, both in terms of workmanship and appearance.

"Hahaha." Li Chengqian laughed heartily and said, "As long as you are satisfied."

"It's almost 3 p.m. Junmai and Rengui have been fighting for so long, they must be starving. I will have someone prepare some delicious food now."

"It is not only to welcome Rengui and his wife, but also to help you practice the Way of Harmony."

Being treated with such courtesy by Li Chengqian, Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai and Qin Huaidao were extremely happy.

Especially Xue Rengui and his wife, who were ordinary people just a moment ago but are now core members of the prince's team. Their faces turned red with excitement.
